hello Mariners!

You 'ave 'ere, possibly the rookiest rookie the waves have ever seen - nothing but disaster ( due to my mismanagement) follows in my wake, and so far, in my career the only ships I have bagged outside of training have been the wrong ones.

Anyway, let me tell you of the latest mishap.. I finished my patrol in AN56, which had been without notable events, and decided to tootle down to Harwich to see if I could harrass any slow and defenceless merchants (brave I am not).

I did find a large convoy on the chart, but somehow our paths never crossed (tch), so I wandered a bit further south and came up to recharge my batteries. Bad timing. A fast patrol boat found me and let all his mates know too, so soon the area was buzzing with patrol boats, and then two or three warships.

I kept them guessing for quite a while, and saved regularly as I tried to get out of range, but in the end, they got me and that was the end of my short and un-amazing career.

Fine I thought, I shall just go back to an earlier save and try a different way of avoiding them. Maybe I can run even when 'in the red'as long as I am not being pinged, clearly creeping away in the green had not worked.

So the next time I got me sea-gear on, that is what I did. I chose an early save and took up the task of getting away from the pack again. But then I had to stop as someone was coming round the house, so I did a save and exit and that was that. After our visitor had gone, I got back into the game - and there they were- GAWN! No saves to be seen anywhere! What?

So, I have had to start all over again, and am at present trawling up and down my patrol area, after which I will again go off looking for prey. Chances are I will get spotted again and the same scenario will repeat itself, and maybe I will get deaded again too.

How can I ensure all my saves are kept safe? Why did I lose them anyway? - and they are lost; not in the careers folder. Just the new ones there. Will it work if I make a backup folder and copy them into there so I can replace them and resume a previous save if I get killed?

Humph
